Answer: Yes! Industrial revolution!
Okie, so, Some new technology that helped change life in the West includes:
- rail roads
- steam power
- sewing machine
- telegraph
There's so much more than that, but those are the main ones.
Explanation:
Railroads made it much easier to transport more goods long distances in a relatively short amount of time.
Steam power made it possible for more factories to be powered, as well as exist. It also lead to inventions such as the steam boats and steam train.
Sewing machines made life on the plains easier. sewing clothes by hand took a loooooong freaking time, but with the sewing machine people (mostly women... only women?) could sew many clothes in the time it took to sew one by hand.
The telegraph enabled quick communication over long distances. It also helped America feel more connected. If something big happened in New York, it would normally take months for the news to reach, say California, but with the telegraph, people could receive news right after, or even while it was happening.
<span>Joseph Raymond McCarthy was an American politician who served as U.S. Senator from the state of Wisconsin from 1947 until his death in 1957. Beginning in 1950, McCarthy became the most visible public face of a period in the United States in which Cold War tensions fueled fears of widespread Communist subversion. He is known for alleging that numerous Communists and Soviet spies and sympathizers had infiltrated the United States federal government, universities, film industry, and elsewhere. Ultimately, the smear tactics that he used led him to be censured by the U.S. Senate. The term "McCarthyism", coined in 1950 in reference to McCarthy's practices, was soon applied to similar anti-communist activities. Today, the term is used in reference to what are considered demagogic, reckless, and unsubstantiated accusations, as well as public attacks on the character or patriotism of political opponents.
Ok.... I really hopes this helps!!!!

This is a very poor question - your teacher, clearly, understands very little about the collapse of the USSR and Gorbachev and his reforms.
<span>These 'provisions' are not what Perestroika was about - your teacher, and possibly your text book, has confused two completely separate and distinct Soviet reforms - Perestroika and Demokratizatsiya (democratisation). All of the 'Provisions of Perestroika' that you have listed are, in fact, parts of the Demokratizatsiya reforms. </span>
<span>Perestroika was the restructuring of party and state organisations, but particularly enterprises, factories, mines, collective farms and other 'means of production'. It sought to re-structure the command economy making it more efficient and better able to compete globally and to meet the needs of Soviet consumers and other end users. </span>
<span>What Perestroika demonstrated was the gross inefficiencies of the Soviet Command Economy, and that the economic base of the country needed frastic and radical reforms - not that the Communist system itself was failing. </span>
